Bench Footing in the GTA
General information. Reno Rise focuses on basement renovations and legal secondary suites. This page describes work that independent professionals carry out; Reno Rise does not perform it.
Bench Footing: What to Know Before You Hire
Not every basement needs a full underpinning job. Bench footing adds a concrete bench around the perimeter of the basement instead of lowering the whole floor, which is faster and less disruptive to the rest of the structure.
It's the right call when you need a bit more height and better structural support without the cost and timeline of a full underpin.
What This Work Typically Includes
- Structural assessment to confirm bench footing is sufficient
- Perimeter excavation and new footing installation
- Integrated waterproofing along the new bench
- Cleanup and floor prep for finishing
